Dentaria, Coralloide radice : All which Names do agree, both with the Plant,

do from the form which it doth fomewhat reprefent,to wit, of a Lambs _
Tongue ; It is called in Latine Plantage, duéto 2 Planta vecabulo, as if this
were the Plant of Plants, as indeed it is; Itis divided alfo by the Greeks into
Epevdesy, and msyrtydpoy, which the Latines call Septinervia and Quinquenervia,
the firit having feven Ribbes, Nerves, or Veines, the other five; Thegenerall
Englifh name is Plantaine ; but that which the Greeks call Eptanenron, we call
Way-bred, becaufe ic commonly breeds by the way fides; and that which they
call Pentancuron, we call Ribbewort, and Ribbewort Plantaine, the Latines calling
Latifoliay becaufe it is broader.
The Forme.
~ The common Waybred beareth many fair broad and almoft round Leaves,
faving that they are alittle pointed at the end with feven ribs or finews in mott
of them, running from the one end of the Leafe to the other, of a faddith green
colour om the upperfide, but more inclining to yeliow underneath ; from a+
mongft which do rife up divers {mall {lender falc of about a foot high, naked
and bare of Leavesup tothetop, whereon groweth a blackifh green fpike or{ca-

Soldanella is hor and dry in the fecond degree , being of a bitter tafte,and cone-
quently of an aftringent quaiiuie.
The Vertues,
Theres not a berter herb in the World for the Drop/y, then Se/danells (which
the fhops cail Br. ffic« marina or the Sea-Cole wort) though veryimproperly as I
have {aid y and becaule there is anothex Piant to which that name coth particu-
Jarly belong (for being taken inwardiy , it is very powertull in purging down ail
kind of wate:ifh and Phlegmatick humors, which are the cante ot a Dropfy)
D ofcorides and others write that it is an enemy tothe Stomack , and theretore
advi'e that ir be boyled in tise broth of fat meat and drunk, to hinder the irength
of its working , and they fay alio that it is dangerous for thofe thar have not
ftrong bodyes: but though that wrought fo vio.ently which grew in their Ci-
mate, yet that which we ule in England, is amoft {afe Medicine, and may be ci-
ven to Children and weake Perions. Howfoever it is ufnally given in the broth
of aCock with Ra:fins, and Awn feeds, in Powder, and Pills, with Cizamon Gin-
$67 Anniieeds, Mafiick or Sugar, as alfo with Rubarb and Cubebs , for Rabarb is
countedan excellent confort tor it, The jmiee alj » not preiied bur itl: ing iorth
of its own accord when it is broken, gathered and dryed , and afterwards re ent-
edormade(oft, and laid as a Piaiier to the bottome ot the belly, draweth forth

faffictent it hath al o an excel'ent property , nor only to open the obfraétions of
the Liver but ro frrengthen theiame alto. The Powder of the Leaves mixed
with Cinamon G nger, and Sugar, is an excellent remedy againit the Wormes, The
